I have found a bug in the new Radiobeacon client (original ticket at http://code.google.com/p/openbmap/issues/detail?id=9).

Both WiFi and cell logs created with this client have their latitude and longitude swapped. I have submitted a fix but it is not in the code base yet.

Affected logs have the following attributes in their root element:
swid="Radiobeacon"
swver="00.6.00", "00.6.01" and "00.6.02"

The data should be OK to use after swapping lat/lon back. (After performing that operation on my data, I successfully displayed my logs of the past weeks on a map.)

It will probably be necessary to fix all data already in the DB, as well as setting up a mechanism to fix any new files that come in (as people may use the old client for longer).

If you modify raw files which are then offered for download, please modify their swid/swver attributes so that we can tell if a file is buggy by looking at these attributes.
